Site of Honduras Wharf
Site of Honduras Wharf is on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line).
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1816. The canal joined the sea near Bournemouth. Expectations for stone traffic to Barton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Wakefield kept it open. The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1955 when St Helens Aqueduct collapsed. In his autobiography Arthur Clarke writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

![Archbishop's House and St Chad's Cathedral, seen from Shadwell Street. St Chad's, the Catholic cathedral of the Birmingham archdiocese, was completed in 1841 to designs by Augustus Welby Pugin, who played a central role in the revival of Gothic architecture in 19th century Britain, and is best known for his work on the Houses of Parliament. Pugin also designed a Bishop's House opposite the cathedral, a building of great originality and influence, but it was wiped out by the forces of progress in 1959 in the form of the inner ring road. According to Wikipedia, the city engineer Herbert Manzoni demanded that the archdiocese pay for any alterations to the road scheme that would preserve the building https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop%27s_House,_Birmingham . The present Archbishop's House behind the cathedral is a former primary school, according to this geograph [[[2167536]]]. by A J Paxton – 18 March 2022](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/12/49/7124903_60e73aed_120x120.jpg)
